HIGHLAND LAKES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES - April 18, 2016
The monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of Highland Lakes Condominium Association was held on the thirdMonday of the month, in accordance with the By-Laws of the Association.
Attendance
The following Directors were present: Kathy Baldwin, Michelle Todorov, Kathleen Connor, Guy Balok, Sandy Nolan, Tom Byrne, and Judy Nakdimen.Also present was Joe Poma, Property Manager.. Approximately 18 Co-Owners alsoattended.
Treasurer’s Report:
Tom Byrne reported.
Receivables have dropped down to $47,000, below $50,000 for
the rst time since Tom has been on the Board. Progress is
being made in collecting money owed to the Association.
The income statement at the end of the 2nd quarter is running
favorably. The largest variance is recurring income from AT&T.
Year to date, the Association has received $12,600 from AT&T,
all of which is going into long-term capital reserve.
Utilities is favorable $55,000 although the gas and water meters
were not read in March and the amounts are estimates. As statedin previous meetings, gas is favorable due to the mild winter.
The Board signed a two-year contract with extremely favorable
gas rates so Tom expects that gas expense will be favorable for
the rest of the year. The Board is keeping a watchful eye on
water and have already discussed watering and sprinklers for the
upcoming summer months.
The other account mentioned was clubhouse which will be
getting ready for the pool season. The grounds expenditure
was for a replacement of a sump pump.
In the closed section, the Board approved installation of a
fountain in Swan Harbour Lake. Over the years, there havebeen complaints of weeds by the beach, making the shore
unswimmable. Installing this fountain will help reduce the
growth of weeds. The Board also approved the seawall repair
on the north shore Silver Spring Lake at a cost of about $9,600.

Court Liaison Committee Report: (page 12)
Joel Lutz reported.
Discussion: A resident mentioned that some schools require their
students to do community service before they can graduate. This
would work well with the Garlic Mustard Pull. Kathy Baldwin
recommended that Joyce Elvy be contacted since she has some
contacts at the high school.
A resident asked if those who repeatedly leave trash on the
front porch could be ned. Joe replied that, although they
could be ned, this kind of behavior usually is associated with
delinquencies. Therefore, the nes usually are not effective.
Board Action: Motion by Sandy Nolan, support by Judy
Nakdimen, to accept the Court Liaison Committee report dated
April 7, 2016. All in favor. Motion passed.
Grounds Committee Report: (page 13)
Marti Tupper reported:
Discussion: Tom asked if the plans mentioned in #9 will be
voted on at the next meeting. Joe replied that Cathy Watkins will
be working on a plan including the costs to be presented to the
Committee. Cathy stated that the plan is not to redo the whole
section but to ll in some sparse areas.
The leak in the water line that goes to the RV lot was brought
up. Joe mentioned that the leak has been xed multiple times but
continues to be a problem. Kathy Baldwin asked for a permanent
solution.
Marti suggested that the Association consider tapping to the same
water source and installing automatic sprinklers along the berm
since the blue spruces are dying. She also suggested consulting
Davey Tree to see if they are diseased. Cathy Watkins replied that
these trees are native to wetland areas; so, when watering months
end, they dry out and become stressed. It is the wrong tree for
the environment. Kathy Baldwin asked if a soaker hose would
help and offered hers for use. Cathy thinks it will help.
A resident brought up moles. Joe said they are now everywhere.
The Association does have a contractor who sprays for grubs
which originally were thought to be the moles main food source.Since then, it was discovered that moles eat other things; so,
this does not get rid of them completely. A sub-committee of
the Ecology Committee has been formed to focus on the mole
problem.. Earl Smith suggested that if you see a mole hill to go
ahead and step on it. This won’t kill the mole but will save the
grass being compromised by the mole hills.
Board Action: Motion by Kathleen Connor, support by Judy
Nakdimen, to accept the Grounds Committee report dated April
11, 2016. All in favor. Motion passed.
Engineering Committee Report: (page 15)
Kathleen Connor reported.
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov, support by Guy
Balok, to accept the Engineering Committee report dated Apri
12, 2016, and to accept approvals for #1-4. All in favor. Motion
passed.
Finance Committee Report: (page 16)
Earl Smith reported.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Sandy Nolan
to accept the Finance Committee report dated March 21, 2016
All in favor. Motion passed.
Ecology Committee: (pages 14)
Cathy Watkins reported.
Discussion: The crabapple trees were discussed. Michelle
Todorov suggested that they plan for and be systematic in
replacing the crabapple trees over time so that the Association
doesn’t lose all the trees at one time. Cathy replied that they are
getting seedlings, planting them, and will replace crabapple trees
with these seedlings. The Ecology Committee has suggested tha
the Association consider not spraying the crabapple trees and
allowing them to run the natural course of their lives. It costs
$5,000 per year for spraying. Tom Byrne replied that they could
stop spraying the trees this year, let the fungus grow, and next year
if they decide that they don’t like it they can begin spraying againthe next year. Guy Balok suggested that the $5,000 saved from
not spraying be set aside for the future replacement of the trees.
The Committee wants approval from the Board for a professiona
analysis of the plants and trees by the lake and forest not to
exceed $600 in cost. Tom Byrne asked if the Ecology Committee
were given a $1,000 budget, would they still consider spending
this amount on the analysis. Cathy replied that they probably
would since she believes that specic knowledge of what the
Association is facing is imperative for restoration of the fores
and lake areas. This analysis can identify invasive species and
introduce us to new species that may regenerate the area.
A resident asked if the geese problem on Swan Harbour and
Crystal Lake could tie into this. The geese are a safety and
property value issue. Joe replied that we hire Gooseworks to
scare the geese away. However, the apartments which own half
of Swan Harbour Lake don’t want the geese removed from thei
property; so, Gooseworks is limited in what they can do.
A Co-Owner suggested that, since the Ecology Committee is new
money not be provided until the Board approves their budget
-

given next year om Byrne replied that, although he understands
the point, the Board can approve special projects submitted to
them. The Co-Owner suggested putting the money towards
the mole issue. Joe replied that the sub-committee will report on
that problem.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Michelle
Todorov, to accept the Ecology Committee report dated April
8, 2016, without the recommendations and address them
individually. All in favor. Motion passed.
Recommendation #1: That phragmites be removed by a
professional company. Judy Nakdimen suggested that this be
deferred until Joe can obtain cost information. The Board
agreed to table this recommendation until the cost is obtained.
Recommendation #2: That crabapple tree spraying be stopped.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Guy Balok, to
stop spraying crabapple trees for one year and then reassess the
situation. All in favor. Motion passed.
Recommendation #3: That Plantwise Restoration be hired ata cost not to exceed $600 to provide professional analysis of
the area around Silver Spring Lake in regard to restoration.
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov, support by Guy
Balok, to approve the professional analysis of the area of Silver
Spring Lake in regards to restoration which is not to exceed $600.
All in favor. Motion passed.
Property Management Report: (page 17-18)
Joe Poma reported.
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov, support by Tom
Byrne, to accept the Property Management report dated April 18,
2016. All in favor. Motion passed.
Co-Owner Forum:
A resident wanted to know if the parking lot spaces could be
numbered by address instead of unit number. Joe replied that
the Master Deed requires identication by unit number. A Co-
Owner commented that putting addresses on the spaces might
alert would-be intruders when Co-Owners are away.
Ray Parzych mentioned that there has been conict between the
Grounds and Ecology Committees about what responsibilities
belong to which committee. Marti Tupper agreed that
conrmation of where the responsibilities begin and end for each
committee be put in writing so they will no longer be stepping on
each other’s toes.
A resident brought up the religious icons being displayed on
communit ro ert and around landsca in . She believes that
they should only be put in the patio area so as not to offend
anyone. Joe Poma replied that the By-Laws are silent on the
specic types of items that can be put outside which is why i
usually goes to the Board for a decision on a case-by-case basis.
A Co-Owner asked if the Association will be starting a project on
the walkway around Silver Spring Lake, which is buckling in many
areas. Joe replied that tree roots are causing the damage and tha
both asphalt and tree roots will need to be removed to solve the
problem. Although the Association is aware of the problemcurrently it is a low priority for expenditure.
The Meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m.

COMMITTEE: Pool Committee
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
Pools and Lifeguards: Joe provided an update. Some repairs will be made to both pools. Pool prep will be starting April25th. Three lifeguards will be returning and a new lifeguard has been hired. Interviews are on-going and Joe expects tohire more in time for pool opening. The pool is scheduled to be open on May 27th.
Following are the dates for pool committee functions:May 29th Pool Opening Party
June 11th Hot Dog Daze - Detroit Tigers
June 25th Fireworks (visible from Meadowbrook Country Club) and all ages late night swim
July 9th Hot Dog Daze - Pure Michigan
July 23rd Adult Pool Party and late night swim
August 13th Hot Dog Daze - Chili dogs
September 4th Pool Closing Party
December 3rd Adult Christmas Party
Use of Pool and Terrace for parties: It was thought that perhaps some people were using the pool terrace to avoid paying for
the clubhouse rental. On some weekends, large parties take up tables that could be used by residents.
Possible solutions discussed were:
Charge for use of terrace
No parties on weekends and holidays
Only 1 party per pool season per resident
Defining more than 7 people as a "party". No parties of more than 7 people to be allowed on weekends and holiday.
We recommend that the board discuss this issue and bring it back to the next pool committee meeting so that a resolution
can be reached and rules established before the pool opens.

COMMITTEE: Court Liaison Committee
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
Joe presented an introduction to our new Security Guard, Jasime Calhoun. He read her resume noting her extensive ex-perience in the security field. Joe is very hopeful she will be with us for a considerable period of time. She stopped in andintroduced herself.
Kathy Baldwin announced that the annual "Meet Your Neighbor" event will be at 6:30 P.M. on May 18th. Last years eventwas a big success. Everyone had a good time. Committee Members are encouraged to attend.
The Garlic Mustard pull is usually in May though the date has not yet been determined.
The Annual Garage sale will be May 14th. Ads will be placed in the local papers advertising the event. Kathy Baldwin will
coordinate this year's sale since Donna McNally moved.
Joe updated us that the "Pet Pal" pedestals will be moved to a front corner of the corrals and an additional layer of cinder
block will be used to elevate the pails for better viewing and access.
Joe also mentioned that "Recycling" is going so well, he is considering adding an additional pickup to accommodate the
number of residents taking advantage of this service.
Parking lot number painting and striping will commence this summer. The numbers will be done first with striping to fol-
low.
There are many porches in our community that need repair. It is very important that you take notice of the brickwork be-
neath the top slab. Deteriorating brickwork will eventually not be able to properly support the top slab causing it to break
and collapse. Porches are the co-owner's responsibility. The clubhouse has names and numbers of reputable contractors.
It is not overly expensive to get these repairs done. Letters will be going to those residents who need to fix their porches in
order to protect themselves from harm and/or liability.
Many residents place their trash outside of their doors and often leave it on the ground or on the porch for days. It is un-
sightly and shows a lack of respect for our property and their neighbors. Please place your trash in the trash corrals or keep
it indoors until it can be so placed.

COMMITTEE: Grounds Committee
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
Looks like we will be planting begonias again this year as nursery stock providers are not guaranteeing impatiens as yet.Planting areas will be the two areas around entrance to Highland House and the Seven Mile entrance sign.
Marti expressed thanks to the maintenance crew's clearing of the invasive common buckthorn from the woods around
Silver Spring Lake. The forest floor now appears clear for regeneration of native growth.
8 Mile entrance—we'll add some additional sedum plants to fill in the spaces that the plants have not yet spread into. Also fill
in some of the area behind the entrance sign with pink sedum.
The board has approved a landscaping plan for around the retaining walls at the Swan Harbor beach. Plan includes installing
an extraction pump in the lake to provide water for the plants and grass in the area.
Discussion regarding placing a fountain aerator in Swan Harbor lake between beach and dock to control weed growth in this
area of lake. Worked in Crystal Lake, lets try it in Swan.
Committee agreed to remove lilies around Highland House sign—not all that attractive after blooming. Replace with low
growing junipers.
Discussion of communication between board and committee—doesn't always seem like board consults committee regarding
what seems like grounds' type issues.
Discussion of spraying and fertilizing procedures in regards to negative and positive effects.
Discussion of the deteriorated planting screen behind Irongate and Dartmouth courts. Need to develop a plan for infilling
the existing growth and develop a cost estimate to recommend to the board.

COMMITTEE: Ecology Committee
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
Since we are a new committee, at the start we all talked about our concerns and why we came to the meeting. The primary
reason was the health of the lakes, which led to our first item: Phragmites. We discussed what is a phragmite and why is it
dangerous to our lakes. At this time we have small patches and the committee recognized the need to act to remove them
and keep monitoring. We recommend that the phragmites be removed by a professional company. Joe to look at the costs.
Liz Gannon offered to work on this, since she is to be licensed to remove them.
We had a long discussion on the pros and cons of crabapple tree spraying. According to Davey, the leaf problem is cos-metic and should not harm the tree, at least not for several years. Since our crabapples are nearing the end of their naturallife, tree spraying is not warranted. Because we clean the leaves when they fall, this fungus could possibly not spread at all.The other issues that are important is the spraying of the poison in our air, that we breathe, lands on the ground we stepin it, etc. In addition, it harms birds and insects. The other important issues is the cost: not spraying results in a savingsof $5000.00 per year. The committee felt this money could be used for new trees that would not need to be sprayed. Werecommend that we stop the spraying of the trees for this year and monitor the situation. Joe is going to discuss this yearscontract with Davey Tree.
Plantwise Restoration. We discussed the current condition of the woods and shorelines and the amount of invasive species
and dead trees, etc. We thought that having a professional analysis of the state of the areas and a framework for restorationwould be a good idea. We would know how to proceed and what to do. Plantwise Restoration is an Ann Arbor companythat specialized in this and has been a leader in the field for many years. We recommend to hire Plantwise Restoration tolook at the area around Silver Spring Lake, from the pool to around the lake and into the woods, near the property line. Weare requesting up to $600.00 for this work. We are not sure of the total cost, but we would not exceed this amount.

COMMITTEE: Finance MEETING DATE: March 21, 2016
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED
Te committee met with the Board at the beginning of their Executive Session: Te reasurer reported to theBoard.
Financial report of 2-29-16. Generally, balance sheet and income and expense statement are satisfactory.
A new natural gas contract has been secured for a term of two years at a considerable savings to theco-owners. Refer to the current Management Report for details.
Te reasurer presented a comparative analysis of operating expenses of 2008 vs. 2015. Te good news is wespent -.02% less in 2015 for total operations. Conversely, long term funding increased by 10.5%. However,
the increase can be attributed to the roof and gutter replacement program and there has been no special as-sessments over this period.
Te reasurer advised that ‘water’ is now the Associations highest operating expense. He suggested a re-studyof using our water from the lakes to water our common areas. Would this be feasible and/or cost effective? Amember suggested we could enlarge the no mow zone areas and that would reduce the water expense.
Te committee was then excused by the Board for the remainder of the Executive Session.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD:None

Silver Spring Elementary Parking Issues: I reached out to the school Superintendant to get the ence fixedbehind Schoolhouse Court. Teir snow removal contractor had piled snow against their ence over the winter
causing it to lean against our shrubs and trees. Hopeully by the time you read this, the ence will be removed orrepaired as I was told that it would be handled within a week. I was also inormed that our residents are parkingin the school parking lot at their own risk. Tis is not our property and the Association does not condone its use,although the school has rarely taken action against people who use it. I got the impression that they may considertowing any vehicle that is lef in their lot. I you need extra parking, use the clubhouse long-term parking areaagainst the back ence (registration needed), or park along one o the interior roadways.
Moles: A ew years ago, the Association added a grub control treatment to our ertilizing program, which wasintended to remove the ood supply o this unwanted pest. It worked or a couple o years, but last year, we noticedtrails running all over the property, especially around approach walks and in the large open fields near Swan Har-bor Lake; they are everywhere. I’ve had limited success treating the tunnels with a product that Home Depot sells,
called “Mole and Gopher Bait”. It’s sold in the garden section and comes in a conical tube ull o pellets. You applythe product by opening a section o the tunnel and dumping a small number o pellets in. Ten you careully laythe grass back over the top so as not to compress the tunnel. Te mole eats the pellets and it kills it underground.I you have these in your patio or garden area, this is an option that typically works. I am working on ways to pre- vent the moles rom taking over the property, but at this point, I just want you to be aware that we are looking intoit and are well aware o the issue.
Compost Pick-Up: Waste Management is now collecting lawn and lea bags, garden reuse, small twigs and com-posted items when placed in the paper lawn and lea bags on the outside on the trash corral. Tis service will runthrough November. Do not place bricks, concrete, fill dirt, gravel, pavers, large branches or other garden construc-tion material in the bags, near the corral or on the inside o it. All garden reuse must be placed in paper bags and
not plastic garbage bags. Te paper bags are sold in packages o five at Home Depot or under $2.00.
Security: Our new Security Guard / Neighborhood Watch, Jasmine Calhoun, is actively monitoring the propertyduring the evening hours. Jasmine may be reached by calling the clubhouse afer ordinary business hours andspeaking with the answering service. Tey will have her call you and take care o any suspicious activity, park-ing problems, etc. Remember that i you see suspicious activity in your courtyard or common areas, nothing is asubstitute or the police, so there is never any problem reporting the issue directly to them as well. Be sure to keepyour exterior lights on during the evening and veriy that your car doors are locked with any lug-nut key hidden ina place other than the glove compartment.
Board Election: Our Association Bylaws require a “quorum” o residents to hold an annual meeting and or our
election to be valid. Tis means that 30% o co-owners entitled to vote must be present in person or by proxy byMonday, May 16th. In layman’s terms, we have to open the ballet box and find about 208 valid ballots or proxies,or a number that when compared against the units with assessment delinquencies nets out at 30%. In previousyears, we have always made it…barely. I we ever come up short, the election must be repeated and we certainlydo not want that to happen, so please remember to vote and have your ballot / proxy in to the office no later thanFriday, May 13th. Your voice matters.
Roofing: Te roofing project is set to commence on April 25th, so those o you that received a map showingconstruction sequence can now estimate the start date or your specific building, assuming that each building takesabout one week in perect weather.

Silver Spring Seawall: We have received proposals for the repair of the seawall that is bowing upward betweenMadison and Viewpoint Courts. Repairs should follow soon.
Swan Lake Aerator: Pricing has been provided to the Board of Directors for this in-house project. Labor will beprovided by our staff with the exception of the meter box. If all goes well, we should have a new fountain off of theSwan Harbor beach resulting in less weed growth this summer.
Shrub Trimming: Our shrub trimming program typically takes place the week following Memorial Day or inearly June and runs for a few weeks. Tis is the first year that our staff will be handling the trimming. Rememberto drop off a no-trim request form if you would like us to refrain from trimming your shrubs. Tis year, our main-tenance team will have some added education from the Ecology Committee as to how to trim certain varieties ofshrubs. We ask for your patience while they learn how to properly take on this task.
Parking Space Numbering: Our staff will be painting on new parking space numbers soon to replace the fadedonce in several locations. I have decided to start with Kenyon Court, as it is the worst on the property. Striping isalso being considered, but we must weigh doing it with the fact that we have a massive asphalt & concrete projectforthcoming, so we do not want to do it twice unless absolutely necessary. You will be notified to back your car up4 feet away from the curb so that we can access the repair area.

Farewell Neighbors When we moved into our condo, on Scenic Lane,in 2003 we already felt blessed. Little did we knowwhat the next 12 years would bring. We were fortunateenough to have Don and Sally Rigo as neighbors. Theyhave become part of “our family”. We are sad to say,they will be moving, in May after 25+ years in Highland
Lakes. Don has served on the Board of Directors as Presi-dent and Vice President. He has also served on severalcommittees. He can tell you some stories and historyabout Highland Lakes. Don and Stan worked side by sideon the Serenity Garden getting their hands dirty andpulling concrete out of the lake to form the beauti-ful garden. Sally has helped Highland Lakes in so manyways. To mention a few, Hot Dog Days, baking cookies/prepping food for events, making coffee early in themorning for campouts at the beach, donating owers,etc. for the Serenity Garden. Stan remembers one sunnyday Sally called and said that someone was drowning.Stan got on the paddleboat, helped the man out of thewater and got him to shore where Sally was waiting witha blanket. Stan helped BUT Sally saved his life. Shewas always ready to give a helping hand. It’s not often you nd friends - neighbors - co-owners like them. How lucky are we to know someone who
makes saying goodbye so hard. We wish you the best of luck. Thanks for every-thing you have done for Highland Lakes and us. We loveyou and will miss you, as neighbors.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
• Member Board of Directors HLCA/Treasurer - 7 years
• Highland Lakes Condominium Association Board Liaison
• Highland Lakes Condominium Association Clubhouse Committee
• Highland Lakes Condominium Association Lakes Ecology Committee
PERSONAL STATEMENT
My philosophy regarding the operation of HLCA is that we should number one make sure thatthe service level our co-owners have come to expect is maintained and improved wherever
financially possible. Secondly, the association should work to maintain and enhance the property values of each co-owner. My philosophy has also been to have a plan to do majormaintenance to our complex without the need for special assessments, and with modest
predictable assessment adjustments to meet the requirements of inflation and our aging complex.Over the last 7 years the assessment increases have averaged 1.7% per year. Lower thaninflation.
Toward these ends we have been successful over the last seven years in maintaining/enhancing
our aging 40 year old complex. Lighting was updated, roofs are being completed this year ($5million project), plans are being laid for work on our aging asphalt and concrete, and we are
gathering information regarding how to handle the aging siding. During this same period oftime, we have actually decreased the cost of operations. Virtually all assessment rate increasesover the last seven years have gone to long-term improvements. We are currently operating the
Association for less money than we were spending 8 years ago.
With these accomplishments in mind, I respectfully request that you vote to return me to the
Board of Highland Lakes Condominium Association for another two-year term.
